Thanks a ton for these videos! I got the game yesterday off Steam and was trying to follow along with the Blenheim IV video, but I'm having some problems.

When I try to toggle the fuel cock or the radiator by clicking on them with my mouse, they don't do anything. Other switches, like the magnetos, work, but for some reason those don't. Also, it appears that my radiators are already open. Could this be because I'm loading a Quick Mission (specifically, the "Cross Country" one)? I have "Complex Engine Management" checked in the Realism options.

Sorry if this is a super noob question. I feel like I'm missing something!

Do you also have engine temperature effects selected in the realism settings? That would affect the radiators... Sorry, no idea about the fuel cock.

Aha! That was it! And to enable the fuel cock, I had to check "Limited Fuel." Thanks!

Hi guys,

I've been having an issue after take off with some of the German planes, specifically the Stuka and BF-110 with CEM.

Once I'm up in the air no matter what I seem to do, my plane starts to shake violently after about a half minute after the wheels are off the deck. After shaking violently my engine(s) have critical failures such as exhaust head failure or oil gasket failure and my plane is rendered worthless.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a control or not watching something carefully but my takeoff and prep for takeoff works and is the same thing I see in the videos earlier in this thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
